REFEREE SCHEDULING
Referees are assigned games primarily by the use of an
on-line service provided by The Arbiter.Net,
https://www.thearbiter.net as well as hands-on administration
by our referee assigners using the telephone and email.
This season we are self-assigning some of the more remote schools:
Mt. Empire, Julian
and Borrego Springs. By
clicking on any of these links you will be taken to a pdf file
of the home game schedules for these schools. From these schedules
please notify Bob Peterson by email to scsoasd@yahoo.com
of the games you and a partner would like to be assigned to. We
prefer that your requests be as a pair to drive together. Otherwise
you will be matched with other single requests.
Before any ref is assigned a game the ref must have an email
address on file with SCSOASD, have a password provided by SCSOASD
and do the following:
On the Arbiter site, to see the complete lists of sites, teams
or partners, you must check the "show all" box in the
upper right corner of each page.
1. If you are not available to work everyday, you must go to
the calendar block and pick the days you will NOT work. The program
cannot handle a preference of "I will work x days
a week." Therefore, if you only want to work 3 days a week
you must select the days you will work and block the other days
of the week. Please keep in mind our big assignment days are Wednesday
and Friday.
2. If you have a relationship with a school that should preclude
you from being assigned to that school, block the site not the
teams. You can block up to 3 sites.
3. If you have a relationship with a specific team that should
preclude you from being assigned to that particular team, home
and away, block that specific team. You can block up to 3 teams.
4. Review your partner blocks. You may block up to 3 partners.
5. Set your travel limits. The default is a travel limit of 50
miles one way. NOTE, for tournament coverage, your travel limit
on Saturday should be greater than your weekday travel limit.
6. Review under travel limits your starting zip code. The default
is your address. Therefore, if you are leaving from work, change
the starting zip code accordingly. NOTE, you can have a different
starting zip code for each day of the week. This will allow you
greater variety in assignments.
7. Review and correct you address and telephone numbers. Check
the privacy box on the Address Green Bar if you do not want other
referees and schools to see your address information.
8. Finally, MARK YOURSELF READY FOR ASSIGNING by checking the
box in the lower left corner of your start page.
